Chapter 30: Walking Out of the Tree
After a night's rest, it seems that everyone except myself is better than yesterday. The refugees no longer looked like starving people, but looked much more normal, although they still ate ravenously.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the refugees who looked so hideous and skinny before now look much more pleasing to the eye. It's as if they have grown flesh. Could it be that the flesh grows so fast?
Chi Nan didn't know, but he still ordered the leftover lynx meat from yesterday to be cooked with some dry food so that everyone could have a good meal before continuing on the road. The road ahead will be much easier than before with preparation.
After walking for a day and a half, in the last half day, Chi Nan found that the rest of the path seemed to be dead. Surrounded by a large area of dense bushes, I could only carve out a path on my own.
This kind of path is not what normal people take. Moreover, there are many kinds of bugs hiding in the bushes. If you don't keep an eye on them, you will suffer. On the way, a refugee was accidentally bitten by a snake. As a result, in this situation, there was no way to treat him. In an instant, the refugee was killed by the guard with a sword.
Chi Nan pointed at the guard and seemed to want to say something, but in the end nothing came out. He was just a step slower, but this guy actually took action directly. The guard took back his sword and looked extremely calm.
"Sir, that is the big tree you are looking for, and it is also an important coordinate point on this road. Why don't we go over and take a look now." A leg quickly came over and pointed to a place far ahead.
"Okay, let's go there." Chi Nan exhaled a breath of frustration. Yes, although it had no impact on Chi Nan, Chi Nan still felt very aggrieved. Is it so difficult to save a few people?
She is not the Holy Mother. Chi Nan knows that Chi Nan has never wanted to avoid losing a few people. But this person was killed by his own people, and Chi Nan couldn't bear it. "Although I can't change this damn world, I will never collude with you." Chi Nan said to himself seriously.
He doesn't know what he will become in the future, but he believes that as long as he insists on having his own bottom line, he will never become a demon in human skin. That should be right.
The group of people aimed at the big tree in the distance and walked all the way forward. Sure enough, this big tree is the most obvious symbol of this place. Just aim in the direction of the big tree and walk directly there.
Even Sophila stopped talking to Chi Nan at this time. The closer she got to the Black Stone Fortress, the more Chi Nan could sense that Sophila seemed to have something on her mind. But no matter what, first make sure you can survive.
After another long time, the group finally walked out of this so-called path. Ahead, the outline of Blackstone Fortress appeared in his sight. "Sir, according to our speed, we will reach Blackstone Fortress in less than an hour. If we go all out, it may not even take twenty minutes."
The so-called rushing forward with all one's strength means abandoning those refugees and moving forward at full speed.
One leg also got off his horse and whispered to Chi Nan: "Sir, we are already close to the Black Stone Fortress. I can walk the next road by myself. Let the horses be given to the nobles, otherwise it will not be good to be seen. ”
Being seen? who? Aren't they those people over at Blackstone Fortress? Chi Nan nodded: "That's it."
Then, Chi Nan walked to the big tree. This big tree was very tall. At a glance, it was at least more than thirty meters high. The large branches are vigorous and powerful, and they have obviously grown for a long time.
Chi Nan put his hand on the big tree and felt the surging vitality. There is also the powerful obstructive force. Yes, Chi Nan has no way to control this big tree by himself. But Chi Nan showed a smile: "Haha, it is indeed a black iron level. You go first to the Black Stone Fortress, I want to take away this big tree." Chi Nan said to Sophira.
Sophila shook her head: "No, since we came here together, let's go together. Don't worry too much. We will all remember your care along the way."
Sophila was expressing her stance towards herself. She would never do some small tricks secretly, nor would she hate herself for certain things. Chi Nan nodded. After all, after being together for two days, he had a certain understanding of Sophila's character.
Unless the other party has been acting all the time and has very good acting skills, he will definitely not be able to deceive himself. Based on his experience of watching movies for so many years, Chi Nan has full confidence in himself.
"Okay, let's wait a moment." Chi Nan said nonchalantly.
Suddenly, Sophila's guard ran over: "Oh no, there are some wild orcs between us and the Blackstone Fortress. We will definitely be discovered if we go directly. I can only protect you and the young master through this middle road." "
Chi Nan frowned and said nothing, but Sophila said, "Can't we get in touch with the Blackstone Fortress? Let them come out to take us in." Sophila's tone was matter-of-fact.
"I'm afraid not. As long as we go out, we won't have time to communicate at all, and we can only wait until the end. Why don't we rush over directly, and just use these refugees to distract the attention of the wild beasts, so that we can get over."
The voice was not loud, but Chi Nan could still hear it. Chi Nan had always thought that he was just an ordinary person, just like those refugees. Chi Nan couldn't help what this guy said: "Absolutely not. Your life is life, so why should others not? We are all raised by our parents, so why should others sacrifice their lives for you?"
"Shouldn't these lowly people sacrifice their lives for us? Everything they have originally belonged to the nobles, and they should feel honored to die for the nobles." The guard said as a matter of course.
Chi Nan suddenly felt sad. Only when he was in this environment could he truly feel the hardship of the lives of the common people. No matter how much he had paid for the nobles, he was always a commodity that could be discarded at any time in the eyes of the nobles.
"Anyway, I will never agree. If you must do this, I will stop you." Chi Nan's anger was slowly suppressed, and he said seemingly calmly. Sophia had already seen that if she continued to force Chi Nan, I'm afraid their good relationship with Chi Nan would come to an end.
But before Sophia could say anything, a leg suddenly said, "My lord, it's bad. Those wild beastmen seem to have discovered us."
